​This year was my first Reiki conference. I did not know what to expect. It wasn’t until I registered that I found out about the format of the conference. It caught me by surprise that some of the sessions were simultaneous, as you can see the Program. I would have to make choices.

​My wish was to be able to attend them all! Later I realized that this format allowed us to interact more with one another and share our learning experiences.

A pleasant surprise for me was to find a few international attendees which allowed me to exchange my impressions in my own language.

I was very encouraged to learn that there are physicians who are Reiki practitioners and also that there are Reiki programs in medical schools, thus bringing good prospects for the widespread dissemination of Reiki practice in the medical community. The boundaries between traditional and integrative medicine are getting progressively blurred. To learn more about Reiki programs in medical settings, check out these sites:

During the whole day, I felt full of gratitude for being part of such a wonderful community and I was glad to share my experiences and impressions with so many other BWH Reiki volunteers, who were among the over 200 conference attendees.

My last take away from the conference was literal, as I was the raffle winner of a brand new Reiki table and an assorted basket of goodies. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!
